Cannot Place part manually in Orcad 16.6 Pcb editor

{NEW TO ORCAD]

I can netlist (with the usual renaming warnings) and open the netlist in Orcad PCB. I get a (correct) list of parts when I go to Place/Manually - but there's no Quickview preview and I can't place anything. I can check the parts but then when I hit ok Its just blank. There should be an error message to hint what's wrong - but I don't know where to look (netrev.lst is "clean" with no error/oversight/warning detected). Very, very frustrating!

After netlist i can see a new.brd file but its just waste. I cant place anything. Plz i need to get done with a project within 2 weeks and this thing is just eating me.

Any Instant help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Deep.

If you make only those layers visible in Allegro, is there anything on them?

No idea. I am just waiting on my manufacturer.

Is there any way I can add title block to my PCB board similar to one in Capture.

And how to increase the spacing the traces and traces/pads.

"Title Blocks" are Format Symbols, there are some provided examples, Place>Manually, Advanced Settings, check the "Library" option then, back in Placement List, select Format Symbols from the drop-down to see which format symbols are available on your configured PSMPATH. For the Silkscreen, check that the "Undefined Line Width" has a value for the selected Silkscreen output film, otherwise, objects with a database width of 0 will be suppressed.
